Transparent Epidote Crystal – Afghanistan

Sourced from the elite mineral veins of Afghanistan, this 30.9g Epidote crystal is a standout for its remarkable verticality and clarity. Unlike the more common opaque or massive forms of this mineral, this specimen features a high degree of transparency, allowing light to travel through its deep olive and pistachio-green interior.

The crystal displays a classic prismatic habit with a sharp, chisel-shaped termination. Its long, slender body is adorned with fine vertical striations that create a brilliant, vitreous luster as the crystal is rotated. With a length of 65mm, it has a significant cabinet presence and serves as a perfect representative of the complex silicate chemistry found in the Hindu Kush range. This is a 100% natural, untreated specimen, preserved in its raw crystalline form.
